RW Webinar: Rising demand for connectivity drives IoT advances in healthcare

On 18th December we hosted the final instalment in our Internet of Things Webinar series for 2018. Michele Farquhar, Tim Tobin, Mark Parsons, and Valerie Kenyon provided a round-up of the hot topics from 2018, including key regulatory and legal developments in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, in areas such as connected vehicles, drones, smart phones, medical devices, and many more. They also provided an insightful look into what developments and changes 2019 has in store.

There's gold in legacy devices—if you can reach it. Long-serving equipment, machines and systems may be the backbone of industrial manufacturing, but many if not most were built and installed in the years before today's on-board microprocessors and Ethernet or wireless network connections were available. It's this lack of data processing and connectivity that makes it difficult to access the useful data that many plant-floor devices contain. However, there are a few ways to overcome these obstacles, and take advantage of the insights and efficiencies this equipment can provide.

Experts from Microsoft, Nexans, Groupe E and Cosmo Tech are explaining how IoT tools, Simulation Digital Twins and hybrid AI are revolutionizing the energy industry by helping grid operators optimize the value of their assets.Budgetary, regulatory, and environmental challenges make it difficult to visualize and deliver on short-term operational efficiency and long-term strategic investments.
